Bethel tuition rising 11 percent in 85-86
This is a news release sub-
milled by the Dean's office.
Upon the recommendation
of ihe administration, the
Board of Regents has established sludent charges for the
1985-86 school year.
Tuition for full-lime stu-
denls for 1985-86 will be
S5,990. up 11% from S5.395 in
1984-85. Room charges will
be S1.485 for all Belhel operated housing, including campus residences, lownhouses,
and Founlain Terrace Apart
ments. (With the addition of
the new South Campus residence, Silvercresl Apartments
will not be used in 1985-86.)
The charge for the comprehensive, 20-meal food plan
will be Si,175. (These figures
take into account a slightly
longer—by three days—school
year in 1985-86, a change thai
was approved by the faculty
and adminislralion in conjunction with the implementation of the new curriculum.)
The total cost for luition,
room and board for a full-time
student will be $8,650, up
10.3% from $7,840 in 1984-85.
While ihis is larger than last
year's increase, it is'smaller
than the other annual increases al Bethel since 1980.
Specific student costs such
as special course and lab fees,
will remain at this year's levels or be increased slightly.
Currently enrolled students
who choose the flex food plan
will be charged S865 as compared to Ihis year's rate of
S835.
Other private schools in
Minnesota are also raising
prices in response to increasing educational costs. A recent
survey revealed that Minnesota colleges were contemplating tuition increases ranging
from 6.1% to 17.9%, with the
average proposed increase being over 10%. The percentage
increase in Bethel Seminary
student charges, as adopted
by the Regents, exceeds that
announced for the college.
